I've pretty much always lived in the country, where a gas station wasn't within walking distance, and if it was, it was also the only one that was worthwhile to go to.

IOW, if it's full, you wait, b/c it will take you 10 mins to get to one that's not full, and you'll probably end up paying more for the gas.

When I was in Manhattan, finding a gas station was like milking a cat. I don't know how traffic can be so dense in a city that seems to not sell fuel at all.
